well we have the super Saints and two other forum teams in the running for the league cup.....

( not sure my investment of £20 in a semi final ticket is looking a good punt right now....there are a couple of tempting looking Colin Davis box sets at around that price which might have been a wiser buy, but fortune favours the brave.....apparently...)

Poor Mike Phelan.

Indeed very harsh IMVVHO

I'll settle for an Owls double - automatic promotion and the FA cup. But we'll probably get FA!... But it would be nice to beat 'boro.

I'm glad I don't have to negotiate business with you Cloughie !!

I don't know, ts, I'd probably be a pushover, like the Owls may be at the weekend!

Gary has just been discussing this (on R4's Today) with Gary, mentioning Gareth.

Do Garys have a higher propensity for sport, and footie in particular?

A rather low voltage MOTD and some very poor attendances. An unexpected away win for the afoxes not be sneezed at though.

Oh dear Buddies

Just wait for the transfer window, Alison.

Good win for Leicester...but sorry to see the Owls given the bhoot out of the Cup. Yesterday on Danny Baker on 5live, a Stockport County fan phoned in to relate the story of the time that the referee was pelted with mince pies around Christmas time...it was quite funny...were you there Rob?

Yes John

Must have been 20 odd years ago,Boxing day IIRC,can't remember the game.
The club staff were giving mince pies out to supporters.
Started out as one pie per fan then as the novelty wore off they were giving away whole boxes.
I remember mince pie fights amongst the fans as well as the officials getting pelted.

Sunday results

Liverpool 0 Plymouth Argyle 0 Youngest ever Reds starting line up were unable to break down the league 2 side
Chelsea 4 Peterborough United 1 Straightforward win despite a 67th min red card and a much changed team
Middlesbrough 3 Sheffield Wednesday 0 Level 0-0 at the break then conceded 2 in 9 mins,Well beaten despite a red card for the hosts just after the 1st goal
